Ingredients: 4 chicken drumsticks, about 1 pound total; 4 chicken thighs, about 1 pound total; Marinade; 2 teaspoons curry powder (homemade is best); 1 garlic clove, finely minced; 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper; 1/2 teaspoon paprika (I used smoked paprika); Coating; 1 1/4 cups milk; 1 cup flour (or more); oil, for frying

1
Stir together the marinade and toss to coat with the chicken pieces in an ovenproof baking dish.
2
Marinate the chicken for at least 2 hours but up to 12 hours. The longer it marinates, the more intense the flavor.
3
Once marinade time is completed, transfer the chicken pieces to a bowl and soak in the milk for 15-20 minutes. Transfer back to the baking dish. Discard the milk.
4
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
5
In a large saute pan heat up a little bit of oil. Dredge the chicken pieces in the flour, shake off the excess flour, and add to the heated pan. Do not crowd the pan.
6
Fry the chicken pieces until light brown but not cooked all the way through.
7
With slotted spoon, transfer the chicken pieces back to the baking dish and bake for about 35-40 minutes or until cooked through and golden brown.
